Fans of the show, which was expanded to two hours in September, mourned the loss on Twitter.

The network issued a statement on Twitter that read, "We are committed to providing quality news to our viewers and to our long-standing relationship with @rolandsmartin #NewsOneNow who will continue to have a voice on #TVOne."
